  1. been keeping an eye on this topic waiting for the update hopefully well find out soon i was cheacking out the ford forums. They sound kinda intimidated by the aurions. Some dont see holden as a threat cos their slower and heavier than the fords. but they do agree the aurion and the xr6 is a tight win. There was discussing something along the lines of the axis on the fords have gotta turn a good 90 degrees to get to good turn. the positive thing is that the FWD cars like the aurion doesnt have to turn as far. im tired as hell..but here are the links to the pages i viewed http://www.fordtorque.com/forum/showthread...odore-38p2.html http://www.fordforums.com.au/showthread.ph...age=1&pp=25 thought it would be interesting seeing that the ford owners had to say on their rival lol
  2. wow...great that your really getting into changing it. When are you planning on turning up to these club meets lol
  3. looked at my haynes booklet its got it there with pictures. got the message for ur fax number as well and faxed late today around 6pm. hope the details help u out ^_^
  4. buy a haynes repair manual for the car. best think i did being the case hardly anyone here has a AE101 and AE102 i'll let u know if its got anything on removing the door upholstery and fax it to u, just shoot though a message with a fax number to send if i find anything.
  5. Just a Question with the new aurion have they fixed the following issues: *dash rattle *leaking oil problem *centre console that makes a creaky noise ( where the gear is between the front driver and passanger seats)....is this a common problem for everyone? Also does it drives differently or is it just the same car with a different front bumper and rear tail lights to those aurion owners are there little problems like this across all the models cos i kinda feel like as though toyota has cheaped out with quality after readying all these aurion owner thread with problems. Just curious...cos its coming close to buying another car this year
  6. just thought of a 1 second job without damaging the seat. lol Just get a seat cover and hide it under that like one person i know did. ...u probably dont wanna listen to me on that advice..lol
  7. Sorry to offend you both...but im sure u'd understand the frustration..i over reacted. Your correct....people shouldnt judge age ...over just being a complete idiot. (LIKE I JUST DID ABOVE)
  8. This is about me and my car last night....sorry if its long but my car started a fire in the engine bay. A young mechanic was servicing my car last year before christmas i found out today. Its taken till last night for the Engine Oil Cap to fall off whilst ive been driving and leak the whole engine bay. the mechanic put somone elses cap on my car that wouldnt even screw on cos it was smaller. I lost a full engines worth of oil that ended up on the road, all through the engine bay and inside the top of the bonnet. The bonnet was dripping with it the whole time when i had it lifted. ASK TOYO ASSASIN cos he was there with me. Anyway i finnaly got it home and the car was still in one peice. When i parked it out at home there was heaps of smoke comming out of the bonnet so i left the bonnet open just watching it cool down for a while, and the manifold of my car just went on FIRE!! with the oil that was dripping on it. Quickly blew it out and avoided a massive explosion or at least ruined car thank god!! Took it to the mechanic this morning have the O'dd oil cap taped several times though the engine bay to kep it held. Iwas told me i shouldnt have driven the car...and i must have lost a good 4L of engine oil..which he was right. Anyway apparenlty the bloke no longer works because of simular problems like mine.so i think it safe to keep going back. I hope he wont let me down like this again by letting younger people service the car, and instead leave the himself ( owner mechanic of the business) do the servicing from now on. Thats my rant for the day Anyway the qualified mechanic (owner) helped me out and gave me a oil cap so i can drive the car straight away and degresed the engine bay and washed it all out for me. He has ordered me the correct toyota one for my model which will be ready for my next service,which was great and i am pleased about. ^_^

  12. Spotted corolla y8y-747 (with club sticker on the back) on the M4 Thursday. had one of the UK corolla sportivo front bumpers i think. Grey colour with euro tail lights. who ever that it is i havent seen them at any of the club meets before. must be a old member.
  13. its different which is good, and the owner actually was brave enough to cut his bonnet (that is..if he actually did a proper scoop) Personally i wouldn't do it i dunno...i was thinking like an evo 6 or 8 bonnet scoop would look hotter at least
  14. Saw this car in Penrith passing me about two months ago. Now its up for sale Selling cost is quite expensive for an 08 model with white paint. What you guys recon on the bonnet?? When i look at it, i see a Holden and turn my back on it. http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/privat...id=125CCF57276E
  15. my current car is my first car I was driving my parents 96 camry when i was on my red P's till i evently found the corolla

  17. Yeah...it was great meeting you all and seeing some nice cars :D Cruise was preety good **Thumbs up** funny how i couldnt keep up with the aurion and EVO X. And evo 7....the drive was sick!!...you'd like the meets in sydney as its mostly rollas I'll have to try and con work into sending me back to brisbane for mid next year next year :P Hopefully i see you all again at the National meet. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >>11TWO: recomend you aim towards looks and handling. If your looking for speed all i can recomemnd is an exhaust job and installing a powerchip for your car...if you want it to go any faster you'll need an engine conversion. Have read up on this...its for my car but your car is very much the same http://autospeed.com/cms/title_PreOwned-Pe...91/article.html Oh yeah..... block those cheese holes in your airbox (in winter your going to get moisture in it)
